Welcome!
This is mental healthcare like you've never experienced.
Melt away stress, say goodbye to overthinking, overcome mental challenges, break that addiction, and resolve mental distress once and for all!
We use the latest technology in brain analysis and breathing to help you discover the roots of issues and experience deep healing in a pampering environment...
...AND we focus on making these services available to EVERY single person no matter what because everyone is deserving of quality care and being treated as equal!
(Romans 2:11, 1 Peter 1:17)
Services Overview
All services come with a personalized lifestyle assessment and healthy tracking sheets to foster clean eating, good sleep habits, circadian balance, and EMF/blue light guides for optimal results.
Devices for purchase for home use as well (linked in description)
Individualized EEG Assessment + Brain maps
Using the electroencephalogram, we make the invisible visible and show you ways your brain is misfiring and causing all sorts of issues.
When you experience a physical or emotional stressor, the neurons in your brain start firing differently to compensate for the injury.
EEG assessments can show symptoms of mental illness as well as peak performance issues.
Protocols are created to enhance peak emotional performance, peak cognitive performance, peak athletic performance, and peak executive performance in the workplace.
Just as the brain has learned and formed these maladaptive networks, the brain can learn new, healthier firing patterns with simple training techniques (Neurofeedback and Neurostimulation).
Neurofeedback
(EEG Biofeedback)
Findings from your EEG are turned into a brain training protocol to improve coping and help you achieve your goals.
Beta/SMR neurofeedback- a simple video game task retrains your brain to fire optimally in a permanent, side-effect free, med-free way.
Alpha/Theta neurofeedback- headphone sounds guide you into the deep, unconscious basement of your brain where your biases, traumas, judgments, dreams are addressed via self-hypnosis.
NOTE- Not all neurofeedback is the same!!! Many neurofeedback systems are automated and train the brain to database norms, which is not always optimal. For example, giftedness or being a high-level corporate executive produces frequencies outside of the "norm," and we wouldn't want to train this down. We use EEGer software and train the brain with completely manual thresholds to ensure individual goals are met for brain change while keeping anything extraneous that is functional.

Great for autonomic regulation and stress! Variations in the activity between each heart beat tell us how coherent the electrophysiology of your heart is. Simple guided breathing techniques restore calm and positivity as you watch your heart coherence graph improve in real time.
Audio-Visual
Entrainment (AVE)
Headphones and light wave glasses pulse sound and light frequencies into the brain. Programs can be set for focus, mood improvement, meditation, energy, and sleep.

Cranio-Electro
Stimulation (CES)
This non-invasive brain stimulation uses a small current sent through the earlobes to calm stress, improve mood, enhance parasympathetic function, and restore healthy sleep patterns.

Skin Temperature
Biofeedback
The more stressed we are, the colder the temperature of our hands. Sounds and visuals guide you to increase the temperature of your finger to allow the brain to communicate to the body that it is calm and regulated. Also indicated for stress, migraine, worry, and anger.

Neurostimulation
tDCS-Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
tACS- Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
PEMF- Pulse Electromagnetic Frequency
PBM- Photobiomodulation
Neurostimulation gives the brain the opportunity to dance with and adopt new frequencies and can be used for specific mental health disorders, meditation, calm, and healing. Devices also work to increase blood flow and oxygenation and decrease inflammation in the brain and body.
Mental Health
Psychoeducation and Psychotherapy
Process difficult life transitions, traumas, areas of desired change, and develop your faith with our mental health and Biblically-trained counselors (Christian counseling offered but never forced.)
